imo a driver's a driver....if you like a Knurled handle or not its all personal preference.....i use the Integy & dynamite mostly and have had Mugen and Hudy...they are all quality drivers and all do the same thing....EDS does have a nice case tho. [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

What does everyone think of the associated factory team hex and nut drivers. I got a good deal on both of them new. I have only used them a couple of times but they did not seem like very good quality for how much I paid. Dont know the size but I was removing the hex bolts on the bottom engine mounts and the shaft kept coming loose. I had to keep re tightining so the shaft would stay in place.

take out the set screw and use a Cap head and Really REEEF er down..3-4mm screw will do the trick.

I have the screwdriver set and they are great, they set really well in the screws like my japanese phillips, on the Allen I have Hudy's and the quality is outstanding, but the EDS is not that far from that quality and are cheaper.

I bought the Hudy before the EDS and do not regret I bought the EDS at all.

Hope that help.

Regards
